Tom Kruse and the Birdsville Track
“In another life (it was back in the 1960s – so that really is another life in another country) I worked for the Commonwealth Department of Education and Science as an “Induction Officer” (I think that was what it was called) which involved an endless string of three day assignments designed to introduce overseas students (mostly on the Colombo Plan or the Special African Assistance Plan) to the mysteries of Australia.
We would take them off to set up a bank account – with the Commonwealth Bank (of course) in Martin Place; treat them to an Aussie meal at Cahills in Castlereagh Street – Chicken Maryland was a favourite ; take them to Gowings to buy some suitable Aussie clothes (this is getting funnier as a write it); take them for a ferry trip on Sydney Harbour; and show them a couple of short movies about Australia.”
One of the movies, which I must have seen at least 100 times, was Back of Beyond. It was a documentary which had been made in 1952 and it told the story of a man named Tom Kruse who, long before four wheel drive vehicles, drove an old truck from Marree in northern South Australia across the deserts, flooded rivers, sand dunes as high as mountains and other miscellaneous obstacles, to Birdsville once a fortnight. The distance was 519 km.
The road was nothing more than a rough track which had been created by the Afghan camel drivers who lived in Marree and had used camels to cross the desert to Birdsville.
Tom was employed by the postal service to deliver the mail – the truck had ‘Royal Mail’ on the front – and supplies to Birdsville. He started doing the fortnightly run in 1936.
I didn’t realise at the time, when I was watching it every couple of days, that it had won the 1954 Venice Biennale Grand Prix Assoluto and that the artist, Sidney Nolan, a friend of the director, accepted the award.
The film was, and remains, a remarkable record of the hardships and ingenuity involved in taking mail and supplies across a desert prone to flooding, being bogged in sand dunes and breaking down hundreds of kilometres from any assistance. There is an extract from the documentary which can be watched on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSa4esN3CHM. Well worth checking out.
Kruse was, by any measure, a truly remarkable Australian. He lived until he was 96 and was there when the Governor General unveiled a statue to the tireless mailman at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia.
In 1999, when he was aged 85, Kruse made the journey for the last time. It was recorded in the film Last Mail from Birdsville. It is a unique piece of Australian history and Kruse, by any measure, is as close to an authentic legend as this country will ever see.

The closeness of polling (admittedly it’s a bit suspect) in the USA tells me the nation is divided to a point of no return. It’s a very worrying sign that there’s likely no way back to the USA of old. By old I mean mid-last-century!
Mark Levin did a devastating rant about how bad the Democrats have been and for how long. Today we read that Arnie is endorsing Kamala! He’s only an actor, but has been a governor and was notionally a Republican.
I’m a little consoled however that Naomi Wolf has jumped the other way and endorsed Trump. She obviously has more intellectual weight than Arnie.

Whittle is no working class lad or yob, rather he’s a measured thoughtful conservative middle Englander who just so happens to be gay, perhaps the least interesting thing about him.
Thought it was parody.
But no.
It’s obvious that the same ballot shenanigans that occurred in 2020 are happening again. Some states are taking corrective action and the Supreme Court has issued a ruling that some votes are not kosher, which serves as a warning that they might take some notice this time as against zero last time.
Fluffy Annaliese seems to be saying that casting doubts on the election process is the work of troublemakers, and nyah nyah none of Trump’s legal cases last time bore fruit. She then adds her usual splash of lefty vox pop sauce in the shape of a voter who is concerned with “inclusion” and the welfare of “migrants”.
What a fantastic painting Dover.
I see a Victorian teen, who committed a vandal attack (involving arson, lucky no one was hurt) on Jewish MP Josh Burns’ office, will face no prison time and will instead ‘undergo a diversion assessment‘ (whatever that is, sounds like wank to me). The Oz is reporting that the young offender has expressed “regret, shame and embarrassment” over the charges against him.
Gosh, threatening Jews, stalking Jews, attacking Jewish MP’s offices, and the only punishment you’ll receive is gentle admonishment.
Who reckons the same leniency would have been applied had the MP been a Muslim? We all know the answer to that.
You pig-headed know-it-alls…

US election: Why Kevin Rudd must go if Donald Trump wins
Senior diplomatic sources have revealed who would need to replace Kevin Rudd as the ambassador to the US if Donald Trump wins the US election.
Australia must replace Kevin Rudd with Tony Abbott or Joe Hockey as ambassador to the US if Donald Trump wins the election next week, senior diplomatic sources say.
A second Trump term would up-end the Federal Labor Government’s relationship with Washington, they say, with Mr Rudd having called the former president a “traitor to the west”.
“Joe Hockey gets on famously with Trump but he’s making a lot of money with Bondi partners, he may not want to do a second act,” a well placed diplomatic source said.
“But one person who would be perfect, and could be persuaded, is Tony Abbott.”
Mr Trump called Kevin Rudd “nasty” and “not the brightest bulb” during an interview with British political figure Nigel Farage in March.
He also said Mr Rudd would “not last long” if he was re-elected.
Under a section of the public service act, all ambassadors are appointed on a “non-continuous basis” meaning they can be called back at any time.

Further to the curiously named ‘undergo a diversion assessment‘, Josh Burns’ electoral office wasn’t firebombed because he is a Labor MP. Oh no, let’s get this straight, it was firebombed because Burns is a Jew, and a Zionist Jew at that. Tut tut.
Am I allowed to be somewhat curious as to what this ‘diversion assessment‘ will entail for the young lad? I could offer some basic suggestions, I’m even happy to offer my services to instruct the young lad on some basic history. Methinks he needs some lessons about the history of Judaism and Zionism, and how Judaism IS Zionism. And then he needs some lessons on Jewish history, the pogroms, the mass murder, the mass expulsions and then round it off with a confronting lesson on Nazi Germany, and show the young ‘lost’ lad firstly pictures and footage of how the homes and businesses of Jews were set alight, most infamously on Kristellnacht, and then show the young lad pictures, footage and reports of the mass deportations to extermination camps where Jews were slaughtered, some six million. Perhaps even a visit to the Melbourne Jewish museum might be in order.
But no folks, don’t worry, this diversion assessment will simply be a progesssive woke wank diversion from the TRUTH.

This time there is desperation. They are not sure if all their contrivances and trickery will work.

Well may they call him Tennis Albo – another return over the net to him:
Opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson has blasted Anthony Albanese for the “carefully worded statement” his office issued on Wednesday in response to questions about the Prime Minister’s relationship with then Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce.
That statement said Mr Albanese “did not ever call Alan Joyce seeking an upgrade”. Mr Albanese’s office has since clarified the statement, saying no other forms of communication were used either.
Senator Paterson said there were still questions to be answered and that Mr Albanese should refer himself to the federal corruption watchdog so the issue could be “adequately investigated”.
“I honestly wonder how dumb the Prime Minister’s office thinks the Australian people are that they’ll be fooled by such a carefully worded statement, which doesn’t go to the core of the issue at all,” he told Sky News.
“I mean, we could tell when the Prime Minister was asked about this at his press conference on Tuesday that he had something to hide because he was being incredibly evasive and he failed to answer this question when he was asked directly repeatedly.
“The only thing the Prime Minister’s office has ruled out on his behalf is he didn’t call Alan Joyce asking for an upgrade.
“They haven’t ruled out that he sent Alan Joyce a text message or an email or that he contacted anyone else in senior management at Qantas by any means or that any of his staff contacted anyone at Qantas soliciting an upgrade.
“And this is what is different about his behaviour compared to any other politician’s behaviour. He appears to have solicited upgrades while he was the minister or shadow minister responsible for regulating Qantas and subsequently his government presided over a decision that was favourable to Qantas but came at the cost of the public interest by blocking competition for Qantas and driving up prices for Australians.”

‘A native speaking in his 3000 years old accent can be heard in the video.”
Yes it would have been so much better if he’d been speaking in the indigenous language of Arabic.
Yet Israel didn’t lose a single plane in that amazing attack.
We’ll see how the next volley from the Terrorist State of Irangoes.
Is the PM’s office seriously suggesting his many upgrades came out of thin air?
We need a full list of them, plus the usual cost of each.
It looks at a preliminary glance like Albo received benefits of between $100-200,000, while at the same time giving favours to his Qantas mates.
Trump is a very funny man.
Trump holds press conference from garbage truck.
Better than that. He has made Biden and all the rest of them look small by shrugging it off – and his supporters get to join in.
Normally the left can just insult and abuse their opponents with impunity. Now their opponents are laughing at them.
They can’t stand that because they are insecure and live in constant fear that they will be ‘discovered’ as a mid-wit who repeats ideas they do not really understand or are able to defend.

I’ve been spending much of my spare time catching up with JD Vance videos with podcasters, so much so that Hairy, miffed, asks me if he should grow a beard (lol). Vance is super-relaxed in these, using colloquial swear words often, and offers some crucial insights into how a Trump Presidency would deal with varous issues, including immigrant returns, international wars (especially any threat to Taiwan’s chip industry), and various major financial reworks of the American system.
Well worth seeing them, in particular the one a week ago with Theo Von – check it out if it’s not already been posted, and this one I’ve just viewed with Tim Dillon. They are long and discursive and show Vance as a thinker (probably yet to be blooded with the reality of what he faces) and as a doer. I think he has a very strong influence on Trump, and vice versa (to date anyway; sparks may fly in the future).
Vance adds a lot of young and Trump-averse voters to the final mix of Trump, Kennedy and Vance. The comments on these podcasts are also worth a dekko. There seems to be some view that Baron Trump has been instrumental in encouraging JD to do these podcasts.
The WIP is going to be chock full of garbage.

Northern Territory government to review Sentencing Act following string of alleged DV murdersLiam Mendes
18 hours ago.
Updated 17 hours ago

A brutal domestic violence incident takes place in broad daylight on the grass outside the Town Council Chambers in Alice Springs.
It’s just past 2pm on Thursday in Alice Springs and a woman is lying on the grass in front of the Town Council Chambers. Standing over the woman, her partner – with a string of convictions and jail time for violent offending – is physically assaulting her.
The all-too-familiar scene played out as the Northern Territory government announced it would review the Sentencing Act after The Australian revealed a string of murders in the Territory were allegedly committed by men with violent criminal histories who could have still been in custody had they received lengthier sentences.
In the violent episode, captured on video last week, the man grabs his 44-year-old partner as she cowers in fear. Several witnesses ignore the woman’s plight, apparently desensitised to what they are seeing.
No one comes to the woman’s aid until one passer-by steps in to confront the attacker.
“Oi, get off her,” the bystander yells in video obtained by The Australian.
The perpetrator walks away, and the good Samaritan gives the woman some water – an act of kindness that appears to infuriate her partner.
“Who the f..k are you?” he yells repeatedly as he approaches the man in a menacing manner.
“Back up and f..k off, you f..k off, that’s my f..king wife,” he says.
“I’m giving her water,” the man replies.
“I want to f..king punch you right now,” the assailant tells him.
Shortly after, the man is tackled to the ground by police and taken to the lockup for a night. The following day he is released by a NT Local Court Judge on a three-month suspended sentence, with a six-month good behaviour bond.
It’s another line item in a crowded rap-sheet, after he was sentenced to six months in prison in 2023 for aggravated assault, breaching a domestic violence order. In the past few years he has racked up multiple convictions for aggravated assault and breaching a DVO, for which he spent time in jail and served a good behaviour bond.
Four years ago (hard to believe it, how time flies), I sat with some other Cats at a CPAC function here in Sydney and watched the US election results come in. Most in the room that day expected Trump to win. I was not so sure, my gut feeling prior to and on the day was that something would go wrong. I was fearful, I did not share the dominant euphoric belief that Trump would be elected in a landslide or that he would be re-elected at all. My gut feeling was proved correct. I didn’t want to be right but I was.
I make no predictions for next week, Trump might win but then again he might not. I hope Trump does win however I am prepared for the worst, which is that Kamala Harris will be the next POTUS. And then we can kiss goodbye to both America and the West. The progressive coup d’état will be complete.
Harris making sense? Kamaltoe couldn’t flip a burger without screwing up, Fatboy. Obviously she’s getting help.
Cernovich is picking up on the Harris move of targeting Republican-registered women and telling them to vote against Trump while they are alone in the voting booth, despite their husbands ordering them to stay the course.

Luigi’s upgrades .. the 1st query should have been .. LOL!
Does anyone believe that when Luigi booked all these economy class tickets that he, in any incarnation, expected he might actually have to make the trip sitting at the back of the plane among the peasants?

Trump has spent he afternoon being driven in circles around a parking lot in a garbage truck, so LOL at anyone claiming Harris is less capable than that doddering old fool.
Extremely unlikely.
One of the interesting things to emerge post-Israeli strike is that one of the directions of the attack was out of the Caspian Sea for the sites near Tehran which puts the Azeris in play.

The US election Sportsbet odds as follows for electoral college votes( 270 votes to win)-
Orange Man
240-269 4.50
270-299 3.40
300-330 3.20
330-359 10.00
Cackling Succubus
210-239 3.30
240-269 3.50
270-299 4.50
300-329 6.00
330-359 21.00
So, in the absence of Armadillo it looks like the markets are betting around a 300 EC votes to give the Donald a win.
If you believe he will win with less than 330 votes then you can spread your bets so ,in the worst case you will get your money back.

More chockies disbursed, this time to a lady and three kids. Lady had an interesting accent so I asks “is your family from Jamaica? I have many relations there.” No she says, her family is from Paraguay.
It’s fascinating that a lady from Paraguay is wandering up my street in Newcastle on the opposite side of the world.

Aha! Number counting begins!
Someone leaked the meeting and was critical of Airbus Albo to the media:
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese moved to reassure ministers the saga over his Qantas upgrades will blow over, declaring he had done nothing wrong while hitting out at media reporting on the issue.
The Prime Minister addressed the issue at the opening of the meeting in Melbourne on Wednesday, assuring ministers he had not acted inappropriately in accepting flight upgrades and the media reporting had been unfair.
One person at the meeting told The Australian the monologue was even worse than his widely-panned press conference a day earlier, accusing the Prime Minister of rambling without having a clear objective of what his ministers should take away from the comments.
While there were ministers sympathetic to his plight, others are critical of how he has handled the issue since it was published in newspapers over the weekend.

I’m heading over and will be in NYC on Election Day. Should be an interesting ride. We’ve been invited to an election party for drinks (and hopefully food). They’re solid Dems, so I’ll keep my mouth shut, seeing as we’re the visitors—although I think they suspect I’m not exactly a Kamaltoe supporter.
If, by luck, Trump looks like he might overcome the cheat margin and win, I’ll head over to Trump Tower just to see the scene, but I won’t be hanging around. It could get really ugly and you don’t want to be in the middle of a shooting match with bullets flying around.

Anthony Albanese’s blanket denial that he sought flight upgrades has been described as “bulls**t” by a Qantas insider who claims his personal staff were in contact with the national carrier.
The Prime Minister has now categorically denied that he ever personally contacted the Qantas CEO Alan Joyce during his tenure as Transport minister to solicit flight upgrades and revealed an internal audit of his text messages confirms this.
It follows author Joe Aston’s claim in a new book called The Chairman’s Lounge that Mr Albanese dealt directly with Mr Joyce about his personal travel – a claim Mr Albanese now categorically denies.
The book revealed Mr Albanese received 22 flight upgrades since 2009, with nearly half involving private family holidays.
Mr Albanese has insisted in a carefully worded statement overnight that he never had contact with Mr Joyce over personal flights.
“The Prime Minister did not ever call Alan Joyce seeking an upgrade,’’ a spokesperson said.
“All travel has been appropriately declared and is a matter of public record.”
But in explosive new claims, a Qantas whistleblower said that people were “freaking out” over the Prime Minister’s blanket denials insisting that there was contact between his office and the airline over upgrades in previous years.
“I know because I know. It’s bulls**t. It did happen,’’ the Qantas insider said.
“We all knew about it. It’s very well known inside Qantas. (Former government relations executive) Andrew Parker used to get calls from Labor staffers as well about upgrades.
“If there’s senate inquiry and Alan Joyce goes he’s going to get asked.

Hahaha. Watching the tape from last night’s show, Sharri Markson just doesn’t get Trump because he keeps “praising” dictators like the clown in North Korea.

…is Halloween?
You’re not helping, Pete… you’ve dressed up as a reptile hoping that you’ll be eaten last. Insert serpent-Satan observation here.
I’m with resident tinker’n’cusser Arky, Halloween has arrived on our cul-de-sacs directly from K-Mart and Epstien’s Hollywood, and we proud Aussies should have no truck of it.
Our youngest has kicked up a stink because I won’t drive her to the suburbs to beg for sugar, because as I reasoned, she will expect to take without giving, and that’s bad juju and/or a route for bad actors to get access to kids who they have no love for.
Trump will win in the biggest landslide in history..
The reason you think that is because you have been getting your information from right leaning sources, and using common sense when viewing the principals talk.
If you got your information from left leaning sources you’d be much less inclined to that opinion..
You would really have to wonder if it is really mayonnaise on the burger.
She did tell us she did the cashier.
Some US dork “jismst”, thought he was on a winner when he claimed Trump had TWO Dukakis moments. Lol!!!

Just an update on the case (?) of the WA farmer t taken to court under the Aboriginal Heritage Act for crossing a “sacred” creek … on his own property!
He has posted this:
Setting the modern commercial & occult accretions aside, like Christmas, Halloween derives from the Christian liturgical calendar and medieval folk piety. As such, its celebration might provide a point of contact for the discussion of Christianity and “the life of the world to come” with people who otherwise give the subject little thought.
On the subject of Halloween, I have no doubt that somewhere in Australia there are marketing people working on ways to introduce Thanksgiving to this country.
If the voice had got up, it would have been perfect. A day on which Aussies could express their sincere thanks to the wonderful indigenous people for their welcome and assistance.
Introduce it to the kids and use them to pressure the older people into going along with it. Kids will be primed for it by a lifetime’s exposure to the endless Thanksgiving episodes of every single American series, every single year!
What a huge sales opportunity, costumes, gifts, mementos, etc.
I predict it will happen eventually.
So you are right. I have to be wrong eventually, eh?
I don’t say you’re wrong, I hope you’re not. But opinions are only as good as the information on which they are based. And the polarisation is intense.
The Trump / Rogan podcast has over 40 million views on YouTube, despite being suppressed.
It has probably been viewed over 100 million times if you include other platforms.
Twenty minutes scrolling the comments under the video yesterday I couldn’t find a single anti Trump comment.
Kam- a la la’s podcast with a lefty the day after received around 3 million views. Scrolling the comments underneath that video, were almost 100% negative.
I think the pollsters were in two minds as to whether to boost Kamalala, counting on the steal working, or boosting Trump in order to give his supporters the feeling that they don’t have to turn up because he has this. Just because something is manipulated, doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain information.
I’m confident because I’m going to make an assumption: That the Trump campaign will have actually put on the ground what they need to in order to contain the steal.
If my assumption is right, it’s a blowout.
No one in their right mind is showing up to vote for that daft witch.

Thanks Pogria – Just read Cernovich’s reposte — I just wish he hadn’t held back so much.
I saw a piece that dismissed it as Trump preaching to the choir.
But that’s quite a choir!
Thoroughly sick of Albo’s hard-scrabble story. The government put him up in a comfortable house in an inner city locale where he could groove with other trots. He went to a good school at the expense of a Church he disrespects. Not like he got punted to Moe and a life of throwing pigs heads at neighbours. You’d think he’d be grateful.
That not even as much as the amount of Kraken lawsuits he lost, LOL.
Extremely unlikely.
Not really.
Whether or not Parchin still features in Iran’s nuclear weapons program, it once housed uranium. Nothing new about Ms Glick’s claim: it’s been an IAEA and NPT issue for years.

I have lost all respect for Ross Greenwood. He was on with Andrew Bolt just now and could not give a straight answer when Bolt asked him who would be better for the economy, Trump or Kamala. He actually launched into a Kamala-like word salad which said nothing. It’s clear he prefers Kamala but doesn’t want to appear ridiculous by saying so.
It’s clear he prefers Kamala but doesn’t want to appear ridiculous by saying so.
Trump gives a lot of second raters an inferiority complex. Nobody feels inferior to kamala.
Greenwood just another bolshie journo.

Vivek Ramaswamy takes garbage truck to Trump campaign event in NC
“I like to experience the universe as one harmonious whole. Every cell has life. Matter, too, has life; it is energy solidified. Our bodies are like prisons, and I look forward to be free, but I don’t speculate on what will happen to me. I live here now, and my responsibility is in this world now.”
~ Albert Einstein
Poor Albert. He should have spent less time sailing and more time walking in fields looking for mushrooms. A friend of mine recently was given ketamine for some treatment and said he felt one with the universe.
I don’t understand physicists and their metaphysical meanderings. Bohr had the Yin Yang symbol on his coat of arms, Dyson with hints of pan psychism but also possibly a theist, Einstein refused to be affiliated with any religion or atheism and referred to The Old One, yet above sounds like he’s been listening to Alan Watts. The modern craze that started with the physicist Capra’s The Tao of Physics. Capra was inspired by discussions with Heisenberg and very inspired by taking psychedelics. Some people experiencing psychedelics undergo profound changes in philosophy and emotions. All this reminds me of John Karlsson’s study which found mathematical creativity has a statistical association with psychosis, not to be confused with schizophrenia. Psychosis isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it may simply reflect a much more flexible mind.
They deliberately entrapped people, calling them racists and gaoling them for telling the TRUTH. The worst enemy of the U.K. population is the government of the U.K.

Longish, but – Quenthland, you have some work to do (the CM):
A JURDGE-only trial. I would dearly like to know who made that decision.
Two scrotes, both armed mind you, smacked their way into a house occupied by normal people. This is what’s usually called (allegedly) a ‘joint criminal enterprise’. Then when the normal people tried to get said scrotes off their property, they were both stabbed. The lady (a wife and mother) was killed).
That’s because there isn’t.
The rationale for this baffling decision?
I’m sorry, but that’s bullshit. It’s no fault of the jacks, or – surprisingly – the prosecution:
The JURDGE:
Which is a wholly unsatisfactory method, in and of itself, of coming to conclusions of this type, taking into spatial distance and ignoring other evidence:
The message for homeowning taxpayers with children, which will be well and truly received, is this – you are absolutely on your own. Defend yourself and yours.
This will not end well. For scrotes.

Starmer’s Southport Shame.
Also, the history of ‘Halloween’ in the US, something that has now become fashionable in this country (something we didn’t grow up with and which I’m not very comfortable with), stems from the very Protestant Puritans who took the practice of Halloween to the US when they sought refuge there back in the early 1600s.
Of course they do.
They construct shrines to them in the tunnels built by kidnapped slave children, and conduct rituals every bingo night while wearing red leather shoes made from the skin of children worked to death.
To reprise a most excellent phrase from the ExCat:
‘Popery is afoot’.
Further to this new book on Cronulla, whilst most of us know that the facts around Cronulla were conveniently submerged and hidden to suit a political and religious narrative, it’s worth thinking of this, that political and media gaslighting began in earnest in this country after Cronulla, a complicit media, political and leftist class all united to push a false narrative.
Those of us with relatives and friends in the Shire always knew the truth of what happened that weekend in 2005.
We look askance at what’s emerged about Southport (we all knew), but the West has been on this gaslighting trajectory for decades, as evidenced by Cronulla.

Definitely different, although I and my family found it less severe than flu. The first time was comparable to a cold with the symptoms’ order all messed up and I pretty much slept for the first day. Shorter recovery time than a cold though (which is usually around 10 days for me) and each time seems shorter and less severe than the last. A week to two and it’s a cold. A few days? Must be covid. I probably got covid about four times while avoiding jabs like I’m in that bullfighter meme. Natural immunity seems to be working well for me. 🙂
